Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal. You either have it or you don't, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have it!

I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.

The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.

In anything you do, it's important to have your own personality there.

Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you're wearing. It is how you wear it. who you are inside.

If you think that you did everything and know everything and that everything has been done perfectly well, then it's time to retire.

In fashion, you have to have perseverance. You have to do it again and again, but it's something that comes out of my heart, and I love it.
